AC-525 Panel Set-Up AC-525 Panel Set-Up Every AC-525 panel controls two doors. The panels connect together in a network and are controlled by a central server computer, running the AS- 525AV AxTrax software system. The following diagram shows an example set-up for the AC-525 access control panel configuration.
Figure 3: Inputs Wiring – Non-supervised Inputs Inputs Wiring – Supervised Inputs When wiring the AC-525 for supervised inputs, resistors should be placed on the input switch and not on the terminal block. For further details refer to Input and Output Requirements on page 18.

AC-525 Panel Set-Up Figure 7: Wiring the Reader Video To connect the AC-525 to the two video cameras, a BNC to BNC cable is needed. An Ethernet cable connects the panel (RJ45) to the Ethernet. For each camera, there is an optional microphone in and speaker out.
The MD-D02 is an optional Reader expansion board which adds 2 readers, four relay outputs and four supervised inputs to the Access Control Panel. Attach the MD-D02 to the AC-525's expansion slot, as marked in red in the figure 9, below.
Input and Output Requirements Input and Output Requirements This chapter describes the AC-525 access control panel's input and output requirements. Input Types There are six input types – Normally Open, Normally Closed, Normally Open Supervised 1 or 2 resistors, and Normally Closed Supervised 1 or 2 resistors.
